Discrete GPU sales are the lowest in 20 years. Low/mid range stuff isn't expected for quite a few months, so guess it depends on how long you want to go. They gained market share and AMD didn't really hurt them with RDNA3 and the performance isn't going to challenge them much this generation. And their pricing is just as whack. So.. shrug.

What did I put out there? That I asked a question and people thought it was an attack when it was "how do we address these complicated issues so that everyone feels comfortable with the solution"? That was quite literally it, and not a single person ever even tried to understand that.

And with that I am done. You can have the last word, I don't care. Maybe in time you will realize that assuming a question is an attack was wrong. Maybe not. Doesn't matter to me. I just hope when a kid in your class raises their hand and asks something difficult that you don't assume it's coming from hate when it's not.

The only responses I got to the initial question was hostility. So yeah, it's futile. I didn't become hostile, I was the target of it.

You don't know anything about me. You don't know that I've had arguments with my "churchy" family members about the rights that same sex couples should have and how the church is intolerant. You don't know that I fully support people being who they are. But I also know that the solution is likely going to be difficult and complicated and I fucked up by asking how that can even be accomplished.

But you carry on assuming. I am done.

You haven't answered anything I have asked. Not a single thing.

Everything I have asked is about the issue at hand and you insist on making it about me personally when there is absolutely zero reason to do so.

A "skilled teacher" wouldn't come into a conversation with an assumption about someone and their motives, especially when nothing said has given any indication of what you are assuming.

Sometimes it's just reality. I live in hurricane territory and people are warned to evacuate every time, and every time people don't. And we help them pick up the pieces and clean up in the aftermath, every time. I'm not victim blaming, but I don't support blaming big brother for not saving people from themselves either.

I am sure there are some fucked up individual situations here, but wholesale "It's all Buffalo's fault" is nonsense.

Defend myself from what? Open hostility that is completely unwarranted? What stance do you think I am defending? This is literally "OMG YOU DARE ASK A QUESTION YOU FUCKING PSYCHO" and frankly, yes, I am done even bothering trying to find honest opinions on how to solve an issue. At least here. Enjoy your downvote brigade nonsense. And good luck having open and honest conversations in the future. Try leaving your anger at the door next time.

P.S. Asking the questions is trying to get the information. As a teacher you should understand that.

I agree 100%.

But a lot of these problems are pervasive throughout the whole of society, and not just confined to the justice system.. as bad as it is.

In a perfect world we would get down to the why of stealing a candy bar and solve that rather than solely rely on punishment as a deterrence.

Most of us clearly understand the racial disparity that is ingrained in America, but a lot of people just refuse to see it. Unfortunately ~50% of our leadership is part of that lot, so nothing meaningful gets done.

So just run from the cops. And if they catch up to you, run again. And if they catch you again just resist arrest, refuse to comply.

At what point is enough enough?

I don't like the use of violent measures to subdue someone but when someone presents an apparent danger (and at that time he clearly did) what should the police do? Honest question. How should this person have been arrested given his actions during the attempt?
